First Reflection: 29 Behaviors

The first behavior that resonates with me happens to be the first on the list. When problem solving or fact checking I'm the first person within my friend group to utilize Google! The next quality that resonates with me is the idea that code is cheap. If I'm ever in a sunk cost fallacy position I will usually allow for a flexible and efficient approach when creating decisions. The third and final quality that resonates with me is the I don't know. I have always been a voracious life learner and curious about the world around me.

Empathy
